WordPress 3.3.1 Apache on WAMP development server
Followed instructions but kept having limit of 2M. Finally located another php.ini file here: \wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\bin.
It had the 2M limit that must have been overriding all other settings.

Using WordPress 3.3.2.
Worked like a charm creating a new php.ini in wp-admin, via the cpanel file manager, editing it and filling it up with the default php code, like suggested. Thanks!

Yes, step 1: Locate the php.ini file inside the wp-admin directory (if you can’t find this file see notes below)

You’ll need to create or download the php.ini file if it doesn’t exist.

Attempting to install a new theme on 3.3.2. The Memory Bump plugin was a bust. php.ini doesn’t even exist in this version. Am I missing something here?

I use ipage hosting and just put two lines in a php.ini file

upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M

and it works fine!

These instructions would just work on an Apache server. I’m not sure how you would bump filesize on a Windows machine.

worked perfect for me! just downloaded your php file (however I renamed it “php.ini” because it’s called “php.ini.ini” uploaded via cyberduck, and it worked!

big thanks.

Nothing happening for me…furthermore I see no signs of connectivity between Bluehost (ie via cPanel), WordPress, or Filezilla. I add things via FTP and they don’t show up anywhere else…I add files via cPanel and they don’t show up in WordPress, etc…. #hatingcomputerssince94
